About Me

I want people to rise up, speak up, and woman up. "Liberty and justice for all"- that's my dream for America in my lifetime.
(Also- I don't capitalize when I blog- not out of contempt for the practice, just my little act of personal liberation.)

I want to shine a spotlight on just a few of the innumerable examples of worldwide violence, senseless discrimination, and systematic abuse of women. I believe increased awareness can lead to action and change.

rape: NOT a public option

i knew something didn't sit quite right with me when i heard about the following story... All-women Public Transportation in Indiathen i read the last paragraph of the article. DUH. and THEN i saw the following two pieces, which pretty much made me mad, sad and laugh out loud- all at the same time! Only rapists can prevent rape. (*warning, profanity*)and, similarly,Sexual Assault Prevention Tips Guaranteed to Work!i want that last one plastered on every locker room, club house and boys' bathroom wall, starting in elementary school. if women are EVER going to be safe, EVERY boy needs to learn, and really KNOW, that rape is not an option.
